                                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 AND 2003
                                            (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

      The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
      accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
      States of America for interim financial information and with the
      instructions for Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly,
      they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
      generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
      statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
      normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
      have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31,
      2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
      for the year ending December 31, 2004. The unaudited financial statements
      should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes
      thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
      year ended December 31, 2003.

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

      Approximately $750,000 in sales of new products in the first quarter of
      2004 is subject to a right of return provision if certain minimum levels
      of retail sales are not achieved by the customer in a 12-month period of
      time from the date of initial sale. Management believes these minimums
      will be met based upon initial retail sales of the product reported by the
      customer as well as the Company's past history with similar products such
      as ENDUROX R4 in similar channels of distribution.

3. INVENTORIES

      As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, inventories consisted of the
following:

                                        2004                   2003

                                     ==========              ========

4. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

      The Company granted 12,000 Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) to employees
      during the first three months of 2004 with exercise prices ranging from
      $0.83 to $0.95 per share. 1,000 of these options vested upon grant, 5,500
      of these options vest during the first quarter of 2005, and 5,500 of these
      options vest during the first quarter of 2006. The exercise price for all
      12,000 options was equal to the fair market value of the common stock on
      the date of grant. Since the Company accounts for its options under APB
      No. 25, no compensation expense was recognized.

      The Company also granted 11,000 stock options to consultants during the
      first three months of 2004. All 11,000 options vested upon grant with
      exercise prices ranging from $0.83 per share to $0.90 per share. These
      options were determined to have a value of $7,289 for the three months
      ended March 31, 2004 and this amount was charged to operations and added
      to paid-in capital in accordance with SFAS 123. In addition, 10,000
      options issued to consultants expired during the first three months of
      2004.

      The following table illustrates the effect on net (loss) income and
      earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all
      awards:

ITEM 2.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         This Report contains forward-looking statements concerning our
financial condition, results of operations and business, including, without
limitation, statements pertaining to:

              o The development of new products and the expansion of the market
                for our current products;
              o Implementing aspects of our business plans;
              o Financing goals and plans;
              o Our existing cash and whether and how long these funds will be
                sufficient to fund our operations; and
              o Our raising of additional capital through future equity
                financings.

         These and other forward-looking statements are primarily in the section
entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations". Generally, you can identify these statements because
they use phrases like "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "future," "intends,"
"plans," and similar terms. These statements are only predictions. Although we
do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable
basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy, and actual results may
differ materially from those we anticipated due to a number of uncertainties,
many of which are unforeseen. You should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus.
Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements for many reasons, including those stated in this
Report.

         We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our
investors. There may be events in the future, however, that we are unable to
predict accurately or over which we have no control. Cautionary language in this
Report provides examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our
actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our
forward-looking statements.

(A)      INTRODUCTION

         The Company was incorporated in April 1995 as a nutrition technology
company that researches, develops, and commercializes functionally unique
proprietary products for sports performance, weight loss and Type 2 diabetes.

         SPORTS PERFORMANCE
         ------------------
         Our first sports performance product, ENDUROX(R), was introduced in
March 1996 with commercial sales beginning in May 1996. In March 1997, we
extended the ENDUROX line of products with ENDUROX EXCEL(R). In February 1999,
we introduced ENDUROX(R) R(4)(R) Performance/Recovery Drink to be taken
following exercise. In clinical studies performed or funded by the Company,
ENDUROX R(4) has demonstrated a number of exercise-related benefits including
enhanced performance, extended endurance, and decreased post-exercise muscle
damage. In June 2001, we introduced ACCELERADE(R) Sports Drink, to be taken
during exercise using the same patented technology as ENDUROX R(4). Research
studies funded by the Company have shown that ACCELERADE is significantly better
than conventional sports drinks in improving endurance during exercise. In 2003,
the Company introduced a ready-to-drink form of ACCELERADE into test market in
the state of Colorado. This test market is expected to continue in 2004. In
March 2004, the Company introduced COUNTDOWN(R), the first product specifically
engineered for immediate post-workout intake by strength-training athletes.








                                        8




         WEIGHT LOSS
         -----------
         In weight loss, the Company has focused its research and development
efforts on development of novel nutritional compositions that stimulate the
body's major satiety peptide, or cholecystokinin (CCK). In April 2000, we
introduced our first weight loss product, SATIETROL(R), a natural appetite
control product based on this research. Clinical studies performed or funded by
the Company have shown that Satietrol, a pre meal beverage, can reduce hunger up
to 43% 3 1/2 hours after eating. In January 2001, we extended our weight loss
product line with the introduction of SATIETROL COMPLETE(R), a 220-calorie meal
replacement product that incorporates the patented SATIETROL technology. In June
2001, the Company signed an exclusive worldwide Licensing Agreement with
GlaxoSmithKline ("GSK") for its SATIETROL technology. Under the Agreement, the
Company received an initial payment of $1,000,000 and received a subsequent
milestone payment of $250,000. GSK subsequently canceled the Licensing Agreement
in September 2002 with all rights reverting to the Company. In the third quarter
of 2003, the Company funded clinical studies performed at a private research
firm that showed a statistically significant reduction in caloric intake in
overweight individuals using a new improved form of SATIETROL in both beverage
and tablet form. The Company will conduct additional studies on SATIETROL in
2004.

         TYPE 2 DIABETES
         ---------------
         Type 2 diabetes has become the fastest growing chronic condition in the
United States. Obesity and poor glucose regulation appear to be primary
characteristics of this condition. Research has suggested that cholecystokinin
(CCK) may play a role in insulin release and glucose regulation. The Company's
research in this area is to develop a nutritional product that can help Type 2
diabetics lose weight by controlling appetite while improving glucose
regulation. The Company expects to initiate clinical trials on a product for use
by Type 2 diabetics in the future.

(B) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 VS. MARCH 31, 2003

         We recorded a net income of $7,777 or $0.00 per share for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 compared to a net loss of ($421,103) or ($0.07) per
share for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The net income for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2004 vs. the net loss in the same period in
2003 is due primarily to increased revenues as detailed below.

         Revenues in the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 increased 64%
to $2,303,597 from $1,397,779 for the same period in 2003. Revenues of ENDUROX
R(4) increased 8% and revenues of ACCELERADE increased 23% in the three months
ended March 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The first quarter of
2004 also included significant opening orders for the Company's new COUNTDOWN
post-workout drink for the strength-training athlete.

         Approximately $750,000 in sales of new products in the first quarter of
2004 is subject to a right of return provision if certain minimum levels of
retail sales are not achieved by the customer in a 12-month period of time from
the date of initial sale. Management believes these minimums will be met based
upon initial retail sales reported by the customer of the product as well as the
Company's past history with similar products such as ENDUROX R4 in similar
channels of distribution.

         Gross profit was $1,173,782 for the three months ended March 31, 2004
compared to $678,058 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 due to the
aforementioned increased revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2004,
gross profit margin was 51.0% compared to 48.5% for the three months ended




                                        9


March 31, 2003. The primary reason for the increase in gross profit margin was
due to slotting fees paid in the form of product for getting our ACCELERADE
product sold in 900 Rite Aid drug stores that feature a special nutrition
section in the first quarter of 2003.

         Selling, general, and administrative ("S, G, & A") expenses increased
to $1,093,694 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 from $997,703 for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. S, G, & A expenses increased due
primarily to increases in advertising and marketing expenses associated with the
launch of our new COUNTDOWN product for the strength-training athlete.

         Research and development expenses were $38,372 for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 compared to $87,291 for the three months ended March 31,
2003. The decrease was due to research and development expenses in the first
quarter of 2003 associated with the test market of the ready-to-drink form of
our ACCELERADE product. We anticipate research and development expenses will
increase as we conduct additional clinical trials on all of our products as we
continue to seek out additional patents and claims for our products.

         Interest expense was $27,031 for the three months ended March 31, 2004
compared to $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase is
due to our accounts receivable funding described in the Liquidity section below.

         At March 31, 2004, the Company's current assets exceeded its current
liabilities by approximately $2.5 million with a ratio of current assets to
current liabilities of approximately 2.5 to 1. At March 31, 2004, cash on hand
was $1,182,901, a decrease of $615,802 from December 31, 2003, primarily because
of an increase of $1,070,711 in accounts receivable and an increase in inventory
of $286,879 from December 31, 2003. These were offset by an increase in accounts
payable/accrued expenses of $667,925 from December 31, 2003. Accounts
receivable, inventory, and accounts payable increased in support of the
increased revenues.

         During the second quarter of 2003, the Company secured a $750,000
asset-based credit facility from USA Funding of Dallas, TX. The amount of
available credit is based on the value of the Company's eligible receivables
from time to time. This credit facility bears interest at a rate of prime plus
2% as well as a 0.75% discount rate on all advances. At March 31, 2004, we had
approximately $13,000 of availability under this credit facility and, as of May
12, 2004, we had approximately $100,000 of availability under this credit
facility.

         Because of our ability to borrow against our credit facility as
described above and the equity raised in the 2003 private placements, we believe
we have sufficient cash availability to fund all of our planned activities for
at least the next twelve months. We may seek to raise additional equity capital
in order to take advantage of any potential opportunities that may present
themselves.

(D)      OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

         There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between the Company and any
other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future
effect on the Company's financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
